This package seems to depend on APNG-patched version of media-libs/libpng. These patches have been rejected upstream and are known to break WebKit. Please fix the package to work without custom patching.
No soultion has been propsed and like I already said in bug #824018 I am against removal of the apng patch.
Your refusal to acknowledge the problem doesn't make the bug disappear. Plus, at least one option has been proposed on the bug, and I'm going to propose a few more in a minute.
Indeed, I refuse to see a problem where no problem exists. The apng patch has been in Gentoo for over a decade now and only because of one single package _now_ having issues with it, is not really as much of a problem as you want to have it. But sure, come with the almighty QA crowbar again. That seems to be the usual approach nowadays. Ignore maintainer decisions and just put on your qa hat with which you can do anything you want.

WebKit is used by more than one package, and unlike the packages affected by lack of patch, they're not all from one vendor. > But sure, come with the almighty QA crowbar again.

I'm sorry but why do you assume that you're the sole maintainer of libpng?
